LAS VEGAS—3-D design software firm Autodesk is launching what it’s calling the world’s first cloud-based 3-D modeling program with the new Autodesk Fusion 360.

According to Autodesk, the program allows design and engineering professionals to more easily create 3-D product designs and collaborate with others in the cloud.

The cloud technology behind Autodesk Fusion 360 offers anytime, anywhere access, from virtually any mobile device or web browser and puts essential data at the center of the design experience, the firm says.

It also supports an open design environment, allowing designers to readily incorporate and modify computer-aided design(CAD) data from virtually any source.

“Data is at the center of the product design process, and the cloud frees that data to be accessible anywhere, anytime,” Autodesk senior vice-president of design, life-cycle and simulation Robert Kross said in a statement.
